Superman prime
Delete as nom. Nonsense entry with no cited sources or interlinks in attempt to claim its existence in fiction or reality. Tagged for cleanup with two indentically named sections. Has also become a prime—no pun intended—target for vandalism. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 23:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete What exactly is this supposed to be? Danny Lilithborne 23:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Off the top of my head, I think there are supposed to be different universes or continuities in the DC multiverse (or somesuch) and this would be a history of Superman Prime - as in the most real reality or the 'prime' (possibly from Prime Material Plane, originally a D&D reference) universe of exsistence. I couldn't tell you if the content was cruft or not, but some sources would be a big plus towards not for me. I'mccertain there are far more geeky comics people around who could say.

 * Comment: I was avoiding replying because I didn't want to turn this into a review of the content, but I can assure you it's just cruft. I'd imagine it was based on Superboy-Prime in name and just went crazy from there. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 02:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If it's just cruft, then I say Delete. Robovski 02:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope, not Superboy this is DC One Million. See below.  FrozenPurpleCube 02:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Redirect I think I'll give a bit of explanation for the non-comic book folks here. Ok, over the past 50+ years of history, the story of Superman, like many comic book characters has undergone some changes in creative line-up and design.  His backstory has been retold, and reinvented.  Sometimes this has been simultaneous with on-going stories, and sometimes it has been a deliberate rebooting by the publisher.  Anyway, for various reasons, a decision was made to give an in-universe explanation for some of this, basically, there are times when a Superman from one universe has met one from another.  There have also been various alternate versions of Superman like Superman: True Brit (Superman lands in Britain not Kansas) and Superman: Red Son (Superman as if he'd landed in Russia).  Anyway, there's a list at List of alternative versions of Superman and this entry is covered there, but in an alternate article:  DC One Million.  Since that article is MUCH better written, I say redirect there.  FrozenPurpleCube 02:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
